The Dwarf Gadget is a piece of lost dwarven technology and one of the more useful artifacts to find twice. Its first copy belongs in the museum, where it is one half of the pair that earns the 'Burnt Offering' wall decoration. A second copy goes into the Farm Computer, a gadget that reports on crops, machines and forage at a glance. Maru loves the Dwarf Gadget, which fits her passion for building machines. It comes from the middle floors of The Mines, from Magma Geodes and Omni Geodes, and from Artifact Troves.
The in-game description reads: It's a piece of the advanced technology once known to the dwarves. It's still glowing and humming, but you're unable to understand how it works.
Location
Tilling soil on floors 40 to 79 of The Mines can turn up a Dwarf Gadget. The chance per tile is small, so it helps to till any patch of dirt passed on the way down. Tilling the same soil can also turn up Dwarf Scroll I, so a Hoe earns its place in the inventory there.
Geodes are the steadier route. A Magma Geode has a better chance of holding the gadget than an Omni Geode. Clint at the Blacksmith cracks geodes open for a small fee, so Magma Geodes saved from mining trips are worth bringing here.
Artifact Troves include it as well. The Desert Trader in the Calico Desert trades a trove for five Omni Geodes, and Clint opens troves too.
Museum
Donating the first Dwarf Gadget to Gunther adds it to the artifact collection. The gadget, the Rare Disc and enough other artifacts together earn the 'Burnt Offering'. The reward comes with the eleventh artifact donation or a later one, once both the gadget and the disc are in. 'Burnt Offering' is a piece of furniture that hangs on a wall.
Donating it also moves the artifact milestones along: the Skeleton Statue comes at fifteen artifacts and Rarecrow #7 at twenty. Every donation adds to the overall total as well.
Prices
The Dwarf Gadget sells for one of the higher prices among artifacts. Even so, a spare copy usually does more good as a Farm Computer or as a gift for Maru. Reading the Treasure Appraisal Guide triples the sale price of every artifact, which makes later spares a solid sale.

Notes
Finishing either "Biome Balance" or "Aquatic Overpopulation", two of Demetrius's special orders, brings the Farm Computer recipe by mail the next morning. Crafting the Farm Computer takes a Dwarf Gadget, a Battery Pack and Refined Quartz. Placed on the farm, it shows how many crops are ready and how many are unwatered. It also reports the stored Hay, the machines that are ready and the state of the Farm Cave. It also works in other places, with a shorter report.
Putting Cloth in the feed and a Dwarf Gadget on the spool of the Sewing Machine makes the Wearable Dwarf Helm. The Dwarvish Helm makes the same hat. The Sewing Machine is in Emily's house at 2 Willow Lane.
Once the Dwarf can be understood, he talks about this lost technology. At higher friendship he says his people once knew the secrets of advanced technology, and he wonders where it came from and where it went.
